Inspired by Noir styled comics and illustrations.

Okami, leader of the Tsukino gang, had left her club after it had closed for the night. The air was crisp and cool and the streets were empty. She walked along the dimly lit sidewalks towards the docks. Her men had caught a rat putting it's nose where it didn't belong and she was going to make sure that no rat would ever want to find it's way into her establishment again. But as she turned down an alley something caught her attention. For only a moment, out of the corner of her eye, she caught the glimpse of a figure.

She clenched her jacket in her left hand, ready to open her coat and grab the gun she carried with her if things went sour. The women didn't know if it was a cop trailing her, trying to get some dirt on her and lock her away, or someone from a rival gang, looking to snuff her out once and for all. But what she did know was that she had to lose him, and fast.

I think, for my first noir styled picture, this turned out wonderful. I really want to do more in this style when time permits.
